Pioneering fluid head and tripod innovator OConnor, a Vitec Group brand, introduces the first product in their new line of professional camera accessories: the Cine Follow Focus CFF – 1. This rock solid tool represents the pinnacle of follow focus design and technology, offering unparalleled performance.
EXTREME MODULARITY
The CFF-1's multifunctional, modular design eliminates the hassle of having to juggle separate bridge plates. A single, easy to use snap-on bridge clamps effortlessly onto either 15mm or 19mm studio rod systems. (An optional LWS bridge is also available.) The OConnor integrated approach lets the operator straddle the line between both standards with ease and efficiency. With the lowest clearance available in a double-sided studio unit, OConnor's follow focus is ideal for large diameter lenses—and protects the user's equipment investment by ensuring compatibility with optical systems now and into the future. The CFF-1 integrates seamlessly with existing popular accessories such as whips, gears, and cranks, while creating a new standard in compatibility.
UNLIMITED MOUNTING OPTIONS
Working with any lens and mattebox configuration, the CFF-1 swing arm can be mounted on either side of the bridge for maximum versatility. What's more, OConnor's unique main follow focus bridge slides independently of the support bridge dovetail, increasing mounting options for specialty setups.
HANDY HORIZONTAL SLIDING ADJUSTMENT
A handy horizontal sliding adjustment mechanism lets the operator locate the focus drive gears so that the lens witness mark is always easy to read.
EXACT AND ACCURATE FOCUS PULL
The CFF-1 Minimal Backlash Mechanism guarantees an exacting focus pull with less play and higher accuracy; every time.

IDC - Gearless Follow Focus (Run and Gun Kit) - Cine Gear Expo 2010

http://www.idcphotography.com/
This rodless follow-focus assembly has been designed as a companion piece for the very successful iDC Viewfinder and together they form a unit called the iDC Run & Gun Kit. If you already have iDC Viewfinders, installation is a quick two-screw operation. The Follow-Focus is also compatible with the latest generation U-Boat Commander baseplates. A Quick Release baseplate for the U-Boat Commander is now available and ideally suited for docking the iDC Run & Gun module when external monitors or audio accessories are desired.
While most gear-driven follow-focus assemblies require an intermediate gear to allow intuitive operation, the iDC Follow-Focus just plain works. Twist the friction wheel counter-clockwise to move the plane of focus towards infinity. Rotate the wheel clockwise to bring the plane of focus towards the camera. Operation is simple, quick, and intuitive! Witness marks are included for both the solo operator and those with the luxury of a camera assistant. Sweet!
Kit Includes:
- iDC Viewfinder Assembly - Customized Hoodman 3.0 Loupe with Quick-Release L Bracket & iDC System Mount
- iDC Standard Follow-Focus Assembly
- Hardware required for assembly
Note: The iDC Follow Focus system is compatible with the Zacuto z-finder adhesive "Mounting Frame" set-up only. The iDC Follow-Focus is NOT compatible with the z-finder models that require a "Mounting Bracket" or their "Gorilla Plate". Both Viewfinder and Follow Focus baseplates can accomodate tripod mounts with a 1/4-20 mount..
